    In our lifetime we’re going to see a lot of stuff become public domain

    Not if Disney has anything to say about it…

    I fully expect them to claim they have rights to images of people who have started in Marvel movies because they own Marvel

      Steamboat Willie hits public domain on Jan 1st. I’ve already got an over dub I can’t wait to release.

        Disney changed their intro to Steamboat Willie to stop that. It will take a legal fight to get them to obey the rules.

        Only 67 years after it was supposed to!

        And I’ll still be surprised if it really happens, or if Mickey ever goes public.
